When dealing with car accident claims it’s very important to do everything by the book. When an accident first occurs it’s time to take a look around at your surroundings and make sure that every possible avenue is covered. If it’s minor then the police do not need to be called, but make sure to take down the information of any other drivers that were involved in the accident with you. It’s also a good idea to keep a little disposable camera in your glove compartment in order to have photographic evidence of the scene of the accident. If you have a cell phone with a good quality camera integrated in it this isn’t necessary.
Make sure that you contact your insurance company as soon as you are in a safe location to do so. The sooner that you get your agent involved the sooner things can be taken care of. It’s generally a easy process if you are dealing with a reputable agency. They deal with car accident claims daily so they will guide you through this process. Sometimes if the insurance of the other parties involved are claiming something different than what you are claiming it can cause delays in receiving payout.
